Merry Christmas! I hope you have a joyful, peaceful festive season – with lots of books!
I’ve had a good reading month this December.
It kicked off with Book 5 in the Beware of Chicken series by CasualFarmer. It wasn’t my favourite of the books. That remains Book 1. But it was enjoyable to return to this heartwarming fantasy world.
Still in the progression fantasy zone, I enjoyed the latest Iron Tyrant series novel by Seth Ring, Falling Gold. It was easy reading with some interesting developments.
Lauretta Hignett started a new series with A Little Bite. It was short and sassy with an opinionated young heroine.
I also had a re-read binge of Jamie Bennett’s contemporary romances. She does slow burn well and often reduces me to tears with her Cinderella heroines. You could start with any of her books. Defending the Rush is good if you like football, and if you like football romances, I picked up Penny Reid’s Homecoming King as a free book and found it one of the more enjoyable marriage of convenience novels I’ve read (and a bit sexier than Jamie Bennett’s books).

Thank you for the recommendations! I grabbed “Homecoming King” as I was about to head to the airport, and really enjoyed it.
I also grabbed “Everything Girl” and “Rocket Science”, both by Emily Mayer, based on a friend’s recommendation. I LOVED them. If you haven’t read them, check them out!
Ooh! Great books. Amazon told me I read them over four years ago – time for a re-read 🙂 And I picked up the Beacon Hill duo. Thanks for reminding me of Emily Mayer 🙂
